Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mad as Fish" data-source="post: 100485" data-attributes="member: 396">I was at a rather middle class wedding over the weekend full, of doctors and accountants etc, and not one word of life outside the talk of careers and locations did I hear, other than the usual moans about house prices and family gossip.Do these people, I wondered, have any care outside their narrow fields of specialisation? Does the greater picture ever enter their consciousness, or is politics just another specialisation they leave to the professionals in that field? It occurs to me that the division of labour into ever tighter disciplines we see in the medical and professional  world  generally, is exteneded to life as a whole and it's almost a faux pas to question a politicions prefessionalism by opposing his actions, just as it would be to for an orthopedic surgeon to remark upon the work of a gynecologist.It is a situation that suits the FFG to a tee, get on with your careers people, and leave the running of the country to us, and the professionals are so conditioned to operate within that sort of environment that that it is precisely what they do. Indeed, I wonder how many of these bright young things actually bothered to vote.</blockquote>
